Initially responsible for feature testing of Nasuni appliance at feature introduction and across feature lifecycle. Feature testing consisted of analysis of feature to be implemented, discussion with development contact during implementation regarding function and testability, and the generation of a test plan document describing those elements of the feature to be tested and how. Additionally responsible for performing the testing described by the test plan document, including acquisition and configuration of test resources, generation of test cases in test tracking software, and execution of tests against software candidates. I was responsible for testing new feature additions in very early small release versions (2.5 ) through enterprise (9.0+) Initially I led testing in the following feature areas : NFS exports, Data Migration ( NFS/POSIX ACLS, CIFS/NTFS ACLS ), Directory Quotas, Addition of FTP access, SNMP v1/v2/v3, Multi-protocol ( NFS/CIFS/FTP access points on same volume ), LDAP ( FreeIPA primarily ), UNIX Extensions for AD Once the product had matured, the company shifted to a more formal Agile process and my responsibilities changed. Whereas before test planning was a one-on-one iterative process with a single developing engineer, our current process focuses on release planning which includes test planning. Day to day duties shifted from generation and execution of test plans and verification of bugs to the demands of the sprint, including research(spikes), creation of documents, preparing tests for execution, and daily bug and automation failure triage. Additionally, automation implementation duties were spread amongst team members, giving me automation experience on both our Legacy and Next Generation automation frameworks. Later projects included additional feature work on the product, the most recent of which is support for SSO login.
